Success Starts with Innovation - Image Skincare

Whether you are big or small, your business is vulnerable if you fail to innovate and create a better product or service for your customers. We delve deeper into why innovation is the cornerstone of all business success and why Image Skincare is leading the way.

The word ‘innovation’ is often associated with large-scale businesses and global brands, but as a small business owner, you too should be focused on innovation in order to stay competitive. Businesses that innovate not only have an edge on their competitors in attracting new customers, but are also more likely to attract new talent, which often leads to greater innovation. This is how the gap widens between companies who lead, and those that follow. The benefits are tangible.

46 new or reformulated products in as little as three years - Image Skincare

The Australian Bureau of Statistics’ Innovation in Australian Business report showed that 91 percent of innovating businesses benefitted from improved goods, services, processes or methods. Customer needs are constantly changing, and the most innovative businesses predict changes in the marketplace, providing solutions before their customers even realise they need them.

“We are always looking for breakthrough brands that produce cutting-edge product innovations. We love big ideas that lead to big results for our salon partners,” says Matt Williams, CEO of Professional Beauty Solutions.

Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.
— Steve Jobs

“If there is one skincare company in the world of professional skincare that is innovating more than any of its competitors, it’s Image Skincare, says Williams. “They don’t rest on their laurels or wait for competitors and customers to demand new products, instead they are constantly researching new ways to innovate and stay ahead of the trends.” In the last three years alone, Image Skincare has developed or reformulated a total of 46 products! Here are a few of our most recent favourites:
